Is the future bright for the luxury SUV market?

As Global Industry Analysts, Inc.’s report forecasts that the general SUV market is set to keep going from strength to strength in the weeks to come, can the same positive outlook be seen for luxury SUVs? There is plenty of reason to believe there is, especially with some of the world’s most renowned car makers getting ready to play their cards in the market.

In 2017, Alfa Romeo is to release the Stelvio as part of its resurgence, which is based on the Giulia’s new aluminium architecture, available in both rear- and four-wheel drive.

BMW aren’t missing out on the action either – the BMW X2, a design-oriented coupe-SUV from the German brand, features a choice of a front-wheel-drive platform and a xDrive 4WD system, and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan — the luxury British manufacturer’s first ever off-roader. Both cars are highly anticipated and will launch in 2018.

SEAT also get their heads in the game, with the Spanish brand’s boss Luca de Meo recently stating: “A crossover – a Porsche Macan kind of concept – could be the emerging kind of model. A model that’s a mix between a sports car and an SUV – this is one of the segments we see growing.”

In this article, Autocar has reported that such a sports car-like a crossover could be on the roads come 2020.
